Gu Shanhai had Luo Huaisong so bamboozled that he almost lost his bearings. It wasn't that what Gu Shanhai said was so truthful or the promises so enticing; it was the seemingly valuable trinkets he casually pulled out.
No matter how recklessly a wealthy man speaks, it's called "vision for the future," but even the sincerest words of a poor man can't stand against destitution.
"I had a great time drinking with Mr. Luo today. Once we start investing and building, I guarantee you'll make a fortune," Gu Shanhai said with an attitude suggesting Luo could make big money by just picking up his leftovers.
Luo Huaisong secretly scoffed, keeping his disdain off his face. Once the funds were in place, he thought, I'll just have someone take you out and the one million silver coins will be all mine. Why settle for your leftovers?
